 All right guys, we've got some new toys today. Got these true blue hoes. I'll show you the box in a little while. Comes with this nice little fan purse. Got a little pocket in the front here. Removable strap on top and inside. Got the big beast. Now I already went ahead and put it together and decided that I go ahead and get it ready to go. So I went ahead and put on my three-eighths fitting there and my quarter inch here. If you notice they do give you two different sets of clamps. The one that I believe is more expensive. Looks a lot nicer than they give you this aluminum one that doesn't even fit right. Put it on there by itself without both pieces together. It kind of fits in there. It's huge. So anyhow, we got that there. Now what I was using prior to was three-eighths hoses from Appian. These right here made a humongous difference. So I'm really anticipating and hoping that these will make or this one here is going to make even bigger difference. What I planned on doing was just using one of these for my liquid line and then that on the suction line. That way, you know, I can at least try it out first and see what it's, you know, if it's even worth doing it going with that second hose. Here's my existing setup. I already had actually I got another set of another Appian somewhere. Got the five sixteenths and the traditional quarter inches. I've added my magnets to the ends of them. My favorite right now is the C and D valve core tools. I think these things are top-notch. This one here did okay, but the resolution sucks on it. So that was when I went to the BlueVac and this thing has been phenomenal. It's been worth every penny. Now this kind of got a little bit of free on in it when I use it last time. The coolest thing about these ones here is they have the leak rate, which you see there on the top right corner and gets it down to a tenth of a second there. And that the battery life on these is really amazing too. They use a nine volt battery. Now one thing I also did is I added a magnet to the back side of this. And so when you've got it you can actually put it right on the side of a condenser or your van. Holds pretty good. They're pretty strong magnets. You get them at home depot. I believe four or five of them was like 10 bucks. Now the Pump 6 CFM made in America. So I went ahead and added a little wrap here for it so that we keep tracking the wires, but the oil on this one is pretty well saturated. I'm going to show you what it does when you have crappy oil. We're going to do a test on just the pump only. Alright, one of my killer dogs is out here and the other one too. So they're going to help show us how to use the vacuum pump. We're going to go ahead and kick this thing on. We're going to see what our ultimate pull down is on just the vacuum pump by itself. They say on average should be able to hit 20 to 50 somewhere in that ball part. Alright, so we're going to bog out somewhere in this ball part here and I know this pump can do better than this. So we've got us an old oil container. I'd love to have that field piece vacuum pump. Alright, we've got some new black gold inside there. Pugsley, are you ready to do the vacuum? Is it going to work? Alright, now let's see what she does. Oh, oil's thicker so you know, probably got a lot to do with it. Alright, this is quarter inch to quarter inch, three eighths inside diameter I believe. I usually had a three eighths to quarter inch right here flare adapter and what I would do is I'd pull both of these boom and boom straight to my valve core tool. Now this hose has already been degassed and all that happy stuff and you know it's a couple years old but I've never ran refrigerant in it which you never do want to do that on your vacuum hoses and we're going to pull and see how low we can get with just the hose only. Just got the stopwatch started let's go ahead and get her turned on and see what we get. And when I first bought these hoses they couldn't get below I think 150 or something like that. It just would not get down low and I let it run for an hour and a half two and a half hours to try to prep the hoses and get them as good as you can get them. And these have brand new seals in them I'm always up keeping my hoses and gaskets and all that stuff but you're going to see you know even though you're technically a quarter inch here and a quarter inch here because no matter the way you want to slice it you're still a quarter inch on your valve core tool you're not going to get around that no matter what you're only going to have a quarter inch to work with. Now this kit came with the valve core tool theirs and it came with fittings also comes with a half inch monster which I don't have that kind of fitting on my pump anyway. And here's their valve core tool from True Blue. Looks very similar to my C&D. I mean if you look at it they both got cut marks similar and you got your apion which like I said my apions have been a little bit disappointing. I've had they were great at first but I rebuilt them and they still just don't seem like they have the the holding power. Now they do have a better ability to pull the valve core out than what some of the others. I mean I'm not going to say they're junk but like I said before in my previous videos that I seen the Stolting Ice Cream Company using C&D and that's when I decided I was going to give them a shot. So what we got going on here it's been running for a little while. What do we got? Two minutes and 45 seconds. Fuck 35. Yeah these are 5 foot 9 inches 5 foot 10 inches long and the Blue Smurf is 1.5 meter. It's a little shorter obviously shorter is better. Where we're at right now we're still dropping but my guys we're really pokey-dokieing around here. We're at 5 minutes 30 seconds. That's how much velocity we're losing from here to there. All right that's at 6 minutes 30 seconds. Let's go ahead and kill this. What we're going to do now on this one here. We're going to go straight to the three eighths port so we're going to connect right there and then we'll just put a regular cap over the quarter inch. All right just started the stopwatch over again. Oh my gosh. Holy crap. Now look I have not even I have not even used these hoses yet okay. I have not used these hoses. They said to use a vacuum pump on them for 10 minutes to get them degassed and all that to get started. Holy crap. They said freaky fast. You ain't flipping kiddin. That is nuts. Wow. Fifty five. I mean you've seen that. That is nuts. I couldn't even hit that with the three eighths hose. That's how much conductance value is in that blue in that littler hose. You don't even want to know what it would be like if you're using a quarter inch. Matter of fact I could show you but I don't feel like being here all night. He even finds it amazing. So does that one. Holy cow. We're pretty much stalling out about where the pump was about good for. We pretty much hit ultimate vacuum in less than a minute and 30 seconds versus I think it was seven or eight minutes on the other one and I didn't even get below 110. Okay well that's a hellacious difference. So think about it if you're going to get it to the gauge that quick you're going to get it into your system that quick. So just like they said the degassing deal here and all that other happy jazz checking your hose for leaks and all that but if you're able to hit 25 you should be able to hit 50 according to that right there and we're doing better than that. We literally hit every bit of what the pump was able to do by itself so there's almost no loss. Unbelievable. All right just started the stop watch over again. We've got these completely open. We're down to nothing. We've got the new AccuTool valve core tool there and we're going to pull this down and see what how fast she can do it. Now this tank was obviously used not too long ago so there could be some residual freon in there. Usually what I'd do is I'll use two three eights hoses pulling both ports there and then like I said do it right to the backing pump and it usually did it fairly quickly. All right it took a little while we're about three minutes and she's finally starting to drop now like I said it's really cold out here and this freon basically uh is probably still in the bottle but still look how quickly we're moving. Look at your your rate there you're at about 30 microns a second three minutes 40 seconds and we're already cruising down now it's obviously slowing down a little bit five minutes and a half and we're at 700. Now we're going to redo this once with the three eights and the big blue hose here and see how she does plus like I said it's so cold out here it's the hardest time to pull down something is when it's cold because it's wanting to condense into the liquid so here we are trying to pull it out in a vapor. All right we're coming into 500 mark here at seven minutes and a half. You figure this is a 50 pound cylinder so they call it 47 pounds WC. Figure a regular residential system holds anywhere from seven to 15 pounds so you just did two to three times the size system by pulling down on this. Now when you valve this thing off too you want to make sure you open that ball valve halfway and get the air out from underneath the valve there'll be some trapped in the valve itself. We're going to come up to the magic 500 number here right at nine and a half minutes. You want to slowly close that thing off so that you got all the air out from underneath of it and we'll valve it off see whether she holds. See how the leak rate now starts to adjust. That usually means you got yourself a pretty dry system you're not ratcheting up real high and there's quite a few good articles on it. It also means my cylinder seals are actually half way decent which is pretty surprising which is awesome my valve port tool is holding so we're going to go ahead and release this and then we're going to start over but this time we're going to use the three eighth hose. All right we've got the three eighth hose connected get the blue vac hooked up right there put our taker out of sleep mode both valves are open we're going to go ahead and hit stopwatch right now boom it's going two seconds in kick her on see how she does. All right guys my battery went dead on my phone but right now we are at 11 minutes and we're down to 82 81 microns but I did since it was going dead I decided to record it but we hit 1,100 microns in two minutes we were down to 500 microns in three and three and three quarters but look at those times that I had there that is just plain unbelievable unbelievable times so you figure on average you know that first pull down that I had had oil you know oil probably in the tank a little bit of refrigerant possibly and that's really going to slow it down but we uh for the most part of even at the end there I said point half a micron a second in the pull down state right now we're finally dogging out at 75 I've never ever been able to pull that low on a tank before but this is showing some real good possibilities here makes me really wonder what it would have been like with two of the blue hoses just really didn't want to shell out 350 bucks to get it right off the bat until I made certain that it was actually going to do something but like I said this has been pretty awesome just having two three eighths hoses so now adding this three quarter inch inside diameter hose along with my three eighths I think it's going to be more than satisfactory for what I need to do but I just wanted to do a quick overview show you what uh basically I had you know as always little nylog goes a long ways and uh another quick tip to on the cps gauge I never used this thing but if you do uh either flip your battery around backwards or take it out if you notice that's where the prongs are at I flip it around for some reason there's it seems like there's something defective with the cps um far as it would go dead for no good reason now like I said the only thing it looked a little jaky is that uh hose clamp is uh packed me in there I think that looks a little little skank but you know what results for what matters I suppose it bothers me that much I could always get the other one there but you know that's that's where at next thing's probably gonna be a three inch hose who knows turbo diesel uh vacuum pump so that's uh that's where we're at guys that's gonna wrap this one up if you like the video please like share and subscribe and until next time we'll catch you on the next one
